Essential Music

Snoopy, like lagging behind the music, the band style doesn't match the song style? I dunno. I just like da music! Gripping, and full of emotion! Ah, I love a song with a strong emotional message, whatever that message may be... but...I really don't know what you mean. I'll try to answer, if I can figure it out... helps me to get it? I's slow...

I mean the look of the dudes suggests to me that I'm going to have my head gripped firmly and smashed against a wall repeatedly. Instead I hear "normal" rock.

Not a criticism, like I said, just an observation...Have they "mellowed"?

I dunno, you should probably listen to some of their other songs. Like Hate Me.

It's kinda like hardcore kick your ass emo rock, lol. A lot of their songs are like that come to think of it...Maybe they have mellowed. I prolly haven't listened to all their songs... they may have been more hardcore earlier in their carreers, and then they were prolly like "Man, kids these days are all emo little pansies. Guess we'll have to market to the masses..."

I like their songs. But, I dunno. So much stuff is emo now, I kinda just roll wit it. :p
 
I thunk! I thunk!

I was expecting a little more...

Shawn, I like listening to music about all parts of life, even the dark, depressing, crappy parts. I don't like just that kind of music. It's just part of the stuff I like. Stuff that reflects the real world and real human emotions, and suicide is part of that.

Here's somethin a bit more upbeat for ya! lol.


What? It's upbeat... :D

One song I really wanted to list was the Red Hot Chilli Peppers "Venice Queen" - it's a great track, and additionally, really reminds me of Arthur Lee's style. And, no strings!

Have you familiar with the writings of Neil Gaiman? I think he played a significant role in launching awareness of her when she released Little Earthquakes, by his quoting her music in his Sandman comic series (which has absolutely sublime moments of storytelling in them).

Saw her perform in Hull about a decade ago - disappointingly, she didn;t make much attempt to engage the audience, and when someone called out "Talk to us!" she said she was shy. :)

Someone also shouted out "Tell us about Neil!" so I'm presuming a number of her fans are keyed in with the connection.

Not been so struck with her latest few albums, but have fond memories of playing "Raspberry Crush" while driving at speed* around Manchester's ring road motorways.

Emo kind of strikes me as a new encompassing description of what would previously have been described by subgenres such as metal/greb, indie, goth, punk, etc. Emo seems to have claimed them, unless you specifically opt out.

While I'm aware there is a lyrical and music basis for the origination of the term, it seems to have become a general term to describe all teen interests fixated with existential angst, cd music subgenres above.

Not too impressed with bands such as My Chemical Romance and similar "typical" Emo groups, though - a bit soft and poppy for my liking.

I've also heard original goths calling Emo's "Goth puppies" or "Baby goths".

In the meantime, getting back on track, here's a nice track:
